Today I present you my Phobos Strike Team Kill Team, painted in the pitch black livery of the Raven Guard, the most stealthiest of chapters. I share a couple of pictures and a few insights into how I painted and personalized the models, so please have a look.

I’m a bit so/so about the Primaris range, but I really grew to love Phobos armour, especially Primaris Infiltrators. So when Games Workshop kindly sent me the Kill Team: Moroch set, I knew I wanted to paint an Phobos Strike Team for my growing collection of Kill Teams. I decided to go with a chapter I haven’t painted before, and which chapter would be better suited for stealthy tactics than Raven Guard?

I painted six models in total, mixing in a few bitz from the Raven Guard Primaris Upgrade set and my bitz box, like the Reiver parts. The Commsman model comes from the Shadowspear / Start Collecting! Vanguard set.

There is a Saboteur (which unfortunately got into a minor varnishing accident), a Reiver Sergeant, a Helix Adept, a Saboteur, and Infiltrator Veteran, and a Marksman to cover the minimum number of operatives. I might add a few more models over time to add more variety to my roster.
Painting Raven Guard
Painting-wise, I decided to paint them in a more realistic way, similar to my Sons of Horus and Emperor’s Children, to practice weathering effects. I started with a coat of AK Interactive Black Primer, applied The Army Painter Warpaints Air Regiment Grey as a zenithal highlight, then added an oil wash of Abteilung 502 Bitume as a recess wash. Once dry, I drybrushed the armour with Warpaints Uniform Grey, and finally added some sponge weathering with Warpaints Air Regiment Grey and silver chips with Vallejo Mecha Color Steel. Then I painted all the remaining details.
